The impact of air pollutant deposition on solar energy system efficiency: an approach to estimate PV soiling effects with the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model

Excel spreadsheets containing data for the figures in the paper: monthly difference between precipitation frequency by WRF model and by observations at three sites in 2011; daily observed concentration from AQS network and model concentrations for PM2.5 and PM10; seasonal stacked bar plots of PM2.5 and coarse mode particle composition from CMAQ simulation and from CSN sites observations; and monthly estimation of solar panel transmittance sensitivity to soiling effect, mean fine particle fraction in total accumulated mass on the solar panel at three sites based on three deposition estimations and model precipitation frequency. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Zhou, L., D. Schwede, W. Appel, M. Mangiante, D. Wong, S. Napelenok, P. Whung, and B. Zhang.
